On November 20th, Mexico celebrates the anniversary of its Revolution of 1910 to 1920. On this date, in the year 1910, the war to overthrow the dictator Porfirio Díaz, began. General Porfirio Díaz had been in power in Mexico for more than 30 years, from 1876-1911.
Between 1910 and 1920, there were several battles throughout the country. This period also produced the Mexican Constitution of 1917.

This year in La Paz, Monday the 19th will be a government holiday: banks, government offices and some businesses will be closed. Schools in La Paz will also be honoring Revolution Day on Monday the 19th. A long weekend for everyone!
